I mean you really have to know this game to even recognise that the credits have started when they are glitched.
Casual viewers will be really confused why this TAS doesn't finish the game.
With a run as glitched like this, casual viewers will have no clue what is going on anyway, unless they're very familiar with the game or read the submission notes. That's part of the charm of a glitched run.

I'm interested in an open question, and I like to talk about it. Is there something wrong in having enthusiasm about something?
No, but this thread is not a suitable place to discuss that, since your issue is not with this particular game or run, but with a broader issue than that.

Looks excellent!
Question: how do you make the sword last so long (e.g. in the first stage)? I thought it would fall out of your hands after 3 or 4 attacks.

Regarding naming on the wiki page, I dislike the idea of using obscure acronyms. I mean "TTP"? Come on! (Yes, we all know that TTP stands for "The TTP Project".)
Yep.
Also, "teal"? I thought it was more of an aquamarine :P

The sound seems off... only a few things seem to be making noise, when a lot more things should be. Compare to this video:
As I recall, the way this game worked is that when (X) sound effects are already playing, the (X+1)th is skipped since there is no "slot" free. Or perhaps that was only on certain types of sound cards :)

By the way, I'm not sure what is more standard in coordinate systems, I was thinking of the screen as having the origin on the bottom left (like the Cartesian plane), but the principle is the same if you place it on top left. And yes I meant using negative numbers as a short hand.
Mathematicians place (0,0) on the bottom left, computer programmers place it on the top left. On every system I can think of, the top left pixel on a screen is also (0,0).
I'm surprised that a game like this uses floating point numbers in the first place; I don't see how they would be necessary anywhere.

Firstly, I'd like to suggest using coordinates like these when discussing the levels: (x,y) where either can be negative to indicate starting counting from the right edge / top of the screen.
I don't understand your coordinate system. I would expect (0,0) to be the top left corner of the screen, and both coordinates go up from there. Lower right corner would then be (25,15).

This looks really cool!
...but I do request an annotated video of the completed project, because most of the time I have no idea what the heck is going on in the game :)

Perhaps this debate can be resolved with an additional tag for movies like this, e.g. "requires non-standard controller"? This would be similar to "uses memory corruption" and other tags.

I don't understand how a video with as few as eight votes (three of which are "no") gets into moon tier, when other movies with imilar votes end up in the vault, and movies like this get vaulted with fifteen yes votes.

Looks good (and yes vote) but I don't get it. Why do you evert to 6-7 at the end? What happens in level 7 where you're at 7-7 throughout and suddenly you end up in 7-8 even though there's no eversion point nearby? And what's with all the going back and forth in level 8? Please enlighten me!

Oooh, I totally want to see this!
...you do know there's 111 levels, yes? This will keep you busy for awhile. But Supaplex is one of the best games in its genre!
Abobo's Big Adventure would be fun to see, and I think that TAS people would enjoy playing it too!
